Twentyone Black Rue21 for women

I did my research looking for beach in a bottle, on a budget. The reviews have stated it is not too youthful, sweet but not cloying, long-lasting, and it doesn't smell cheap. I whole-heartedly agree.

I'm mid 30's, I don't want to smell like a cupcake, but I've been craving suntan lotion, beach scents, anticipating summer. Bronze Goddess is on my list, but I'm watching my pocketbook, so I was trying to find something inexpensive, that fit the bill. This is that scent. I'm feeling the beach, I smell the fruit, I can smell faint Hawaiian Tropic, but it's not overpowering, and it doesn't smell like a big bowl of sugar. There's a very sharp note of pineapple in the drydown that is almost nauseating, but it quickly passes, and what's left is a very nuanced fragrance that is extremely complex. I keep sniffing myself, reminding myself that amazing smell is ME...

I agree that this smells like a high end fragrance!!
Wish I had bought it when I saw it as we also do not have a Rue near us.

I as well agree, it overall smells of coconut but has hidden notes of fruit.I had this for about a year and i kinda mix it up with "Pink Ice." (thumps up if you do too:D)i recently moved and i dont have a rue 21 around here, so im going to prolong the life of my perfumes. Anywho, this scent is amazing and almost tropical without as much fruit.

I had this before it was in the data base.


The SA was trying so hard to sell it to me so for 10 dollars I said why not-she had told me it just smelled of vanilla.

ah but no it smelled like coconut just like LA2000 says it is like suntan lotion scent.

I promptly gave it away , but for anyone liking that type coconut scent for 10 dollars it is a great great deal:)cant beat it.

If you are looking for a fragrance that has a "Hawaiian Tropic" coconut suntan lotion vibe, this might be the ticket for you. There are fragrances that do this better than "TwentyOne Black"(Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess has a far more sophisticated take on this idea), but none that come in for the dirt cheap price of $10/50ml.

The actual composition is a bit clumsy (there is a melon/cucumber skin note at the top that really rubs me the wrong way), and the unnecessary use of pineapple gives the suntan lotion a bit of a fruity drink vibe, but the overall notion of coconuty, lotioned up summer skin still comes through despite these drawbacks.

As a novelty fragrance, this is a steal. It has decent longevity, and while the coconut lotion impression slowly fades into the background, you are left with a pleasant toasted vanilla/cherry almond finish that lingers for hours.

This is marketed at teen girls, but there isn't anything about it that is any more feminine than actual suntan lotion - so in my book that makes it unisex.

For me this scent is simple, BBW Fresh Pineapple meets Pacifica Indian Coconut nectar. Yum! Sweet & coconuty with pineapple until the dry down when coconut stands out more and pineapple takes a back seat. Simple and tropical. I wear BBW FP in summer on hot days and I love it, I'm sure this will be a fabulous summer scent too.

Great for summer! And for the price, you can't beat it. It reminds me of suntan lotion. If I wear this to work, it reminds of being on the beach. LOVE IT. It last well considering it is a cheap perfume.

This scent smell has a lot going on. Mostly, it smells of cocnut, but also features orangey smells. It is very potent, however smells very good and last for several hours. Black is a very appealing perfume, but should be worn in fall or winter months.
